Some of the earlier ROM 01's had BOTH connectors on the motherboard
(check yours).  If not, I beleive it should still have the solder pads and
all you would need to do is install the connector on the motherboard to
use a //e power supply without hacking up any wires.

The //e power supply should work fine in the GS.  Afterall, the upgrade
motherboards (gs in a //e case) didn't come with GS powersupplies.
